in the accoi'npanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a plan view of one of the cards;

2 is a plan view oil another card;

3 is a plan view of: another card: while Fig. l a plan view of still another card.

It should be uinlcrstood that in the accoinpanyingr drawings l have shown only tour rards oil a full, deck of conventional. playing cards, havingthe usual designations for the four suits the *ards shown being the 'iolter, an ace, an eight-spot and a deuce. Upon the joker is a secondary legend announcing that the one to whom the joker is dealt shall take all of the tokens or counters in the center oi the table, plus a certain number in addition from each player. In this particular instance the legend reads, Take all and collect 5 from each player. The legend. on the ace is, Take all, indicating that the one to whom the ace is dealt shall take all the tokens then in the center ol the table. The legend on the oi 'ht-spot is All put .l indicating that whenever aneig'hlgspot dealt all the players will. put 1 token in. the center Of the table. ()n the deuce the legend. reads, Put 5, indicating; tluit the one to whom the deuce is dealt will put 5 tokens in the center of the ta ble.

at regular deck. of playing cards is used, which, as well known, have values runfrom the ohier down to the deuce, the

present m s The legends on the cart at diilliereut llfil'ltlllllUfl alODS have a. plus and minus value correspoiidinpg respectively thereto, that 's to say, the joker has the greatest value, as it gives to the holder all tokens in. the center of the table, plus from each player. The holder of the ace takes all. the tokens in the center of the table, The holder of a king takes 5 tokens Serial No. 4l92,234=.

from the center of the table; the holder oil? the queen l; the jack 3; the ten-spot 52,; the nine-spot l. The eigrhtspot and the sevenspot are pl'eleralily blanks, or as indicated above, may bear a secondary legend. dire ting all players to put 1 token iu the center ot the table. The holder ot the sin-snot required. to put l in the center of the table; the holder ot the five-spot 5!); the torn.- spot 3; the three-spot l; and the deuce In beginning the game, each p 1 given a corresponding number of t is or counters of any sort, The cards are then shuffled and dealt one by one to the several players. As the game progresses one player after another will be eliminated, until finally, when all of the tokens have been gained by one player, the game is over.

The particular legz ends employed on the particular cards ma be varied at will, it being important only to have the r. ,iectiro legendary values correspond to thc ralues oi the respective playing; tards oi each sing, so that whenever a player gets a card above an eight-spot for example he lKllOWS, even without readingthe legend, that he is to receive a token from the center of the table. (in the other hand, a player receiving any card below the seven-spot, knows that he is called upon to put tokens into the center of the table.
